Happy as A Clam

The Twenty-first Sherman's Lagoon Collection

Join Sherman, the lovable shark, and his aquatic cohorts in the comfy environs of Sherman's Lagoon.

Sharks have always fascinated Jim Toomey. "I was the only one rooting for the shark in Jaws ," he says. Sherman's Lagoon fans don't just root for the dim-witted Sherman, they devour his books by the net-full.

This is the latest collection of the popular strip, which takes a satirical, sea-floor look at modern culture through the eyes of Sherman , his sidekick sea turtle friend Fillmore, and schools of other coral reef critters in their remote tropical paradise.
